[Shop-talk] trimmer recommendations?

[Jimmie Mayfield]

A few years ago I found a used Stihl FS85 on ebay for $cheap.  It had
seen a lot of abuse but seeing how Stihl's engines are designed pretty well 
I took a chance and bought it.  Rebuilt the carb and replaced the fuel 
lines and throttle cable and now it works fine.  It's a bit over-powered for 
use around the house but it did a good job clearing out fence rows on my 
parents' farm.

My only problem with this guy is the fuel tank grommets don't make a tight
seal so it will leak around the fuel lines if turned on its side.  Seems the
lines need to be just a hair thicker...
